3GHz RF Generator and Detector Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CE-12382

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the 3GHz RF Generator and Detector (Product ID: 12382, control unit model 10209I), part of the Communication Equipment range under Laboratory equipment, a synthesized RF signal generator and power detector for S-parameter and filter-response measurement up to 3 GHz.

Related product: this unit's Control Unit is supplied under model number 10209I, which matches the "10209I Generator and Detector" listed as recommended supporting equipment on our RF Training Kit (Board 1 and 2) (Product ID 12381) page. Please confirm with our team that this is the exact unit referenced there before ordering for that purpose.

Quick Answer

This is a specialised RF signal generator and detector with a PLL-synthesizer-based frequency generator offering AM, FM and PSK modulation, high stability and low phase noise. A built-in high-dynamic-range log detector arrangement measures forward and reflected power via a directional coupler, with an SMA output (adjustable from −30 dBm to 0 dBm into a 50 Ω load) and a BNC modulation input. It supports both standalone and PC-controlled operation through a user-friendly GUI for monitoring, control and plotting, and covers single-tone, frequency-sweep, frequency-hopping and power-sweep modes for S-parameter measurement and filter-response analysis.

Key Specifications

Note: the manufacturer's introductory paragraph states a frequency range of "35MHz to 4GHz," while the product name and the Specifications section both give 3 GHz as the upper limit; both figures are presented here rather than silently resolved — please confirm the correct upper frequency limit with our team. Two figures elsewhere in the source use the letter "O" in place of the digit zero ("OdBm", "-5OdBm") and are normalized here to 0 dBm and −50 dBm as unambiguous OCR-style artifacts. The source's interface/impedance line reads "Impedance: USB-B type: 50 0", which appears to combine an interface type (USB-B) and an impedance value (50 Ω) into one garbled line; both are presented above as best-effort interpretation — please confirm with our team.

Background: RF Signal Generators and Detectors

Most modern RF signal generators use frequency-synthesizer technology, most commonly a phase-locked loop (PLL), which lets a user enter a frequency directly (from a keypad or remote control) with high output accuracy, governed by an internal reference oscillator or an external frequency reference. PLL synthesis is well established and lets manufacturers build high-performance generators at a lower cost than older, specialised-case designs. On the detection side, RF power detectors sense a signal and produce an output that a processor correlates to real signal power; logarithmic and RMS detector designs increasingly replace older diode-detection methods where wider dynamic range is required. A directional coupler paired with a log detector, as used in this unit, is a standard way of measuring forward and reflected power in an RF system, supporting insertion-loss and isolation measurements — for example, insertion loss (S21/S12) of a filter, isolation (S41) of a directional coupler, and the transmission/reflection coefficients of a device under test.
